The Response to Redemption
Commentators explain this verse as a picture of the redeemed person's response to salvation. Having been given life by the King (Christ), the believer joyfully gives back their best treasures ('gold of Sheba'), prays for the King's mission to succeed, and offers continuous praise. Our salvation should overflow into a life of generous giving, kingdom-focused prayer, and daily gratitude.
